PreMission

• Uther: The Holy Light has always been a part of my life, illuminating everything in its radiance.
• Uther: With this blessing, I have been able to endure even the darkest of moments. Let me show you…

• Uther: Yes, Archbishop.
• Alonsus: Uther, I must test your dedication to the Light.

Exchange

• Uther: How else would I improve?

• Alonsus: You have practiced for many years. Few others have been so diligent.
• Alonsus: Stormwind has fallen to the orc Horde. It grieves me to see such times.

Victory

Quote From Out of Cards

PreMission

• Uther: I loved my home and my people. I could not bear to see them besieged while I yet drew breath.

Intro

• Uther: Be gone, fiend!
• Orgrim: The war will not be over until this city falls!

Exchange

• Uther: I'll return them to the blasted portal they came from!

• Orgrim: The owner of this hammer is prophesied to bring peace. But not today.
• Orgrim: We defeated the Alliance in Stormwind. We will defeat you here!
• Orgrim: This war will restore glory to the Horde.

HeroPower

• Orgrim: Bring me my hammer!
• Orgrim: Face the Doomhammer!
• Orgrim: I wield your doom!

Quote From Out of Cards

PreMission

• Uther: We tracked the Horde to their hiding place at Blackrock Spire. They'd built a fortress into the mountain, making it almost impossible to breach.
• Uther: Summoning our courage, we went to meet them head-on.

Intro

• Uther: Righteousness is the only advantage I need!
• Varok: You have no advantage here, human.

Exchange

• Uther: The tides have turned. Without the rest of your forces, you are hopeless.
• Uther: And I pity a monster who can never know the Light's grace.
• Uther: I suppose you're not used to that.
• Varok: Gul'dan's treachery is not your concern.
• Varok: Your kind is weak and foolish. I pity you.
• Varok: I'll give you one thing. You fight with honor. With conviction.

Victory

• Uther: Run and hide if you like. The Alliance always finds you.
• Varok: Again, we must retreat. But our day will come. Mark my words.

Loss

• Varok: Strength and honor will preserve the Horde forever.

Idle

• Varok: I am second only to Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer himself.
• Varok: I have only lost one battle. And I mean to keep it that way.
• Varok: The orcs were peaceful once. It was the Blood Curse that changed us.

HeroPower

• Varok: I am war itself.
• Varok: Glory to the Blackrock clan!
• Varok: Lok'tar ogar!

EmoteResponse

• Varok: Diplomacy has never been my strong suit.

Quote From Out of Cards

PreMission

• Uther: Even as we made gains against the enemy and captured their leader Doomhammer, we knew not how the war would end.
• Uther: When the remaining Horde rallied around the Dark Portal, it was clear that we had to destroy it.

Intro

• Uther: Understood.
• Turalyon: Unleash everything you have at the portal! But don't let the Horde reinforcements outnumber you!

Exchange

• Uther: Wouldn't want to.
• Uther: I'll make sure he gets a shot.
• Uther: Khadgar, now!
• Turalyon: There's another world on the other side of that thing. Can you imagine it?
• Turalyon: As soon as the portal is vulnerable, Khadgar can destroy it!
• Turalyon: Be careful, the portal's summons are becoming more powerful!

Victory

• Uther: Thank the Light! It's gone!
• Turalyon: At last, we are finally safe.

Quote From Out of Cards

PreMission

• Uther: Over the years, King Terenas entrusted the tutelage of his son, Prince Arthas, to me.
• Uther: I was not as young as I used to be, but helping that boy grow into a fine young man kept me going, same as ever.
• Uther: When the orcs started causing trouble again, we were quick to answer.

Intro

• Uther: Surrender the villagers, Blademaster!
• Uther: Not on my watch!
• Blademaster: I have other uses for them.

Exchange

• Uther: Remember, Arthas, we are paladins. Vengeance cannot be a part of what we do.
• Uther: If we allow our passions to turn to bloodlust, then we will become as vile as the orcs.
• Uther: Weren't you listening to me?
• Uther: You're a good lad, just a bit hot-headed. Think before you act.
• Uther: Because I said so!
• Arthas: Let's get in there and destroy the beasts!
• Arthas: Slay the orcs! Slay them all!
• Arthas: If I'm already good, why do I have to think?

Victory

• Uther: We've done well, lad. This was a sound victory.
• Uther: Have faith. We defeated their demons a long time ago. There's nothing left of them.
• Arthas: I don't know, Uther. Those orcs were trying to summon demons…

Loss

• Blademaster: Every sacrifice strengthens our masters' return…

Idle

• Blademaster: Soon, demons will rain from the sky, and this wretched world will burn!
• Blademaster: Let this appease our demon masters!
• Blademaster: We will never surrender.

HeroPower

• Blademaster: The warlocks demand sacrifices!
• Blademaster: Embrace the storm!
• Blademaster: My blade seeks vengeance.

EmoteResponse

• Blademaster: You have not seen what we have.

Quote From Out of Cards

PreMission

• Uther: I was right. The orcs weren't a threat to us—something far worse was rising.
• Uther: It began when Jaina Proudmoore warned me that Arthas was under attack in the village of Hearthglen.
• Uther: I rushed to help him. What else could I do?

Intro

• Uther: For Lordaeron! For the king!
• Arthas: Uther, your timing couldn't have been better.
• Venim: You will freeze together!

Exchange

• Uther: Don't celebrate yet, son. This battle is far from over!
• Uther: What are these abominations?
• Uther: We knew people were getting sick, but not the cause…
• Uther: I'm surprised that you kept things together as long as you did.
• Uther: Now is not the time to be choking on pride! What we face here is only the beginning.
• Arthas: The Scourge. They started this plague by infecting the villagers' grain. And all who perish join them.
• Arthas: Look, I did the best I could, Uther!

Victory

• Arthas: We should strike at their leader! I'll go to Stratholme and kill Mal'Ganis myself if I have to!
• Arthas: I'm going. With or without you.

Loss

• Venim: Curious… he perished sooner than the master planned.

Idle

• Venim: You mustn't bother killing me. I've already been through that!
• Venim: The master has great plans for young Arthas.
• Venim: We've infected all of the grain. There is no hope for you.

HeroPower

• Venim: One by one, they turn.
• Venim: All submit sooner or later.
• Venim: Mal'Ganis is watching…

EmoteResponse

• Venim: I see.

Quote From Out of Cards

PreMission

• Uther: Easy, lad. Brave as you are, you can't hope to defeat him all by yourself.
• Uther: Despite my misgivings, I followed the boy to Stratholme. The journey was a perilous one, with roads overrun by Scourge.
• Uther: My belief in Arthas, in his goodness, was too strong to push aside. I had to find him.

Intro

• Uther: Never! I won't let you harm him!
• MalGanis: Arthas abandoned you. Leave him.
• MalGanis: Hahaha…

Exchange

• Uther: Silence! You do not know his heart. I do.
• Uther: I won't give up!
• MalGanis: Even if you survive the road to Stratholme, your words will never reach him.
• MalGanis: The boy is already lost to you.
• MalGanis: Choke on your pride!

Victory

• Uther: How can you even consider that? I cannot obey that command!
• Uther: You've just crossed a terrible threshold, Arthas.
• Arthas: We're too late, Uther. These people have all been infected. The city must be purged.
• Arthas: Then I must consider this an act of treason. Get out of my sight!
• Jaina: I'm sorry, Arthas. I can't watch you do this.

Loss

• MalGanis: It was always your destiny to fail.

Idle

• MalGanis: Haven't you realized this was all part of our plan?
• MalGanis: None may halt the march of the Scourge.
• MalGanis: We will break you and the boy too.

HeroPower

• MalGanis: We are ETERNAL.
• MalGanis: Heed my voice.
• MalGanis: Time to settle the score.

EmoteResponse

• MalGanis: Is that all?

Quote From Out of Cards

PreMission

• Uther: From that day forward, a darkness came over Arthas that could not be lifted. He turned against his own father, King Terenas.
• Uther: At that moment, I realized my worst enemy was the small lad I had raised to follow the Light. But still, my faith held.

Intro

• Uther: Your father ruled this land for seventy years, and you've ground it to dust in a matter of days.
• Arthas: Very dramatic, Uther. I'll make sure you die quickly.

Exchange

• Uther: I dearly hope that there's a special place in hell waiting for you.
• Uther: I would have done anything for you. Given my life, even.
• Uther: What could have changed you so?!
• Arthas: We may never know. I intend to live forever.
• Arthas: You still might…
• Arthas: Perhaps you're a bad teacher.

Victory

• Uther: You may think this was a defeat. But when I closed my eyes, there was only Light.
• Uther: I remembered everything I fought for… everyone I had loved and pledged loyalty to.
• Uther: And I knew I had lived up to my charge—to fight in the name of faith. I was blessed to do so.

Loss

• Arthas: Strange, I thought I would feel something at a moment like this.

Idle

• Arthas: You should have obeyed me.
• Arthas: I will shake the very foundations of the world.
• Arthas: You were right, Uther. I am vile… even more vile than the orcs.

HeroPower

• Arthas: You will know endless torment.
• Arthas: Frostmourne hungers…
• Arthas: Agh!

EmoteResponse

• Arthas: Haven't we talked enough?!
